Observation details
Female. Rain and distance btw me and its favored perch made for challenging viewing. Viewed off and on for nearly ten minutes before I left site to get camera from car (where I left it intentionally because of the rain). It was still present on my return, but disappeared minutes later and was not seen again in the next 2+ hours. A small hummer with short, rounded tail with conspicuous white tips on three outermost rectrices (R3-R5); central rectrices ( R1) were green and shorter than adjacent rectrices (R2-R4). Dark lores stood out on its otherwise plain and pale face; slightly elongated post orbital white mark, and smaller supraorbital white mark. Upperparts pale greenish except on forehead and frontal crown area which were a duller grayish-green; underparts were plains, smudged dull grayish on sides. It disappeared and then returned to its batching perch several times, but I only observed one feeding sequence before it disappeared entirely. Silent throughout. Rare in this park.
